On the invertibility of EGARCH
Martinet, Guillaume Gaetan; McAleer, Michael - 2014
Of the two most widely estimated univariate asymmetric conditional volatility models, the exponential GARCH (or EGARCH) specification can capture asymmetry, which refers to the different effects on conditional volatility of positive and negative effects of equal magnitude, and leverage, which...

On the invertibility of EGARCH(p,q)
Martinet, Guillaume Gaetan; McAleer, Michael - 2015 - Revised version: February 2015
Of the two most widely estimated univariate asymmetric conditional volatility models, the exponential GARCH (or EGARCH) specification can capture asymmetry, which refers to the different effects on conditional volatility of positive and negative effects of equal magnitude, and leverage, which...

The effect of the great moderation on the US business cycle in a time-varying multivariate trend-cycle model
Creal, Drew; Koopman, Siem Jan; Zivot, Eric - 2008
In this paper we investigate whether the dynamic properties of the U.S. business cycle have changed in the last fifty years. For this purpose we develop a flexible business cycle indicator that is constructed from a moderate set of macroeconomic time series. The coincident economic indicator is...

Spot variance path estimation and its application to high frequency jump testing
Bos, Charles S.; Janus, Paweł; Koopman, Siem Jan - 2009
This paper considers spot variance path estimation from datasets of intraday high frequency asset prices in the … microstructure noise has an adverse effect on both spot variance estimation and jump detection. In our approach we can analyze high …

Daily exchange rate behaviour and hedging of currency risk
Bos, Charles S.; Mahieu, Ronald J.; Dijk, Herman K. van - 1999
Exchange rates typically exhibit time-varying patterns in both means andvariances. The histograms of such series indicate heavy tails. In thispaper we construct models which enable a decision-maker to analyze theimplications of such time series patterns for currency risk management.Our approach...

Inference for adaptive time series models : stochastic volatility and conditionally Gaussian state space form
Bos, Charles S.; Shephard, Neil G. - 2004
In this paper we replace the Gaussian errors in the standard Gaussian, linear state space model with stochastic volatility processes. This is called a GSSF-SV model. We show that conventional MCMC algorithms for this type of model are ineffective, but that this problem can be removed by...

Measuring asymmetric stochastic cycle components in US macroeconomic time series
Koopman, Siem Jan; Lee, Kai Ming - 2005
To gain insights in the current status of the economy, macroeconomic time series are often decomposed into trend, cycle and irregular components. This can be done by nonparametric band-pass filtering methods in the frequency domain or by model-based decompositions based on autoregressive moving...

Daily exchange rate behaviour and hedging of currency risk
Bos, Charles S.; Mahieu, Ronald J.; Dijk, Herman K. van - 2001
We construct models which enable a decision-maker to analyze the implications oftypical timeseries patterns of daily exchange rates for currency risk management. Ourapproach is Bayesianwhere extensive use is made of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. The effects ofseveral modelcharacteristics...
